From the above discussion we conclude the field flux linkage due to time varying currents i a , i b and i c produce a constant flux linkages and does not vary with time. We can represent this flux linkage as one coming from a fictitious coil with a steady DC current i d and have an axis coinciding with d axis and the two coils synchronously rotate and have a mutual inductance of M as represented in Figure

The current i d depends on I s and θl . For lagging power factors i d will be negative causing demagnetising effect. So I f has to be increased to counteract. For leading power factors i d will be positive causing magnetising effect and I f is decreased. This effect is called armature reaction and this principle is used in excitation system control.

Need for the model: 1
The synchronous machine model we developed so far is based on round rotor theory. This model will be sufficient to analyse the machine under steady state conditions.
2
For transient studies we need to use two axis model.
3
In salient pole machines the air gap is small above pole faces and large in the interpolar regions. These aspects need to be considered.

Also the rotor has damper windings. These windings are represented as D axis and Q axis windings which are short circuited coils.

Park’s Transformation
Features of Park’s Transformation
1
The inductance elements given by (23) to (28) are dependant on the angular position of the rotor which will be varying continuously so these inductance will be time varying. Analysing the model with time varying inductance will be difficult.
2
Using Park’s transformation these inductances can be made time invariant for the purpose of analysis.
3
The stator a , b , c variables are transformed to direct axis (d), quadrature axis (q) and zero sequence (0) quantities using the transformation matrix P.
4
The matrix P has the orthogonality property ie., P−1 = PT . Any stator variable can be transformed to dq 0 axis by multiplying with P.

Consider a three phase fault on the terminals of a three phase generator, which is operating with constant speed and excitation. Before fault we assume the phase currents i a , i b , i c are zero, this will make the currents i d , i q , i 0 are also zero. Initial field current will be given by, V f i f = R f During fault the terminal voltages will be zero, ie., v a , v b , v c = 0 so v d , v q , v 0 = 0.

During fault conditions, there will be a sudden rise in current which will not be backed up by instantaneous changes in flux linkages in the rotor circuits and armature reaction effects. It will take a few cycles for the flux linkages to settle for steady state values. These initial period following the fault is termed as sub-transient and transient periods. Using equation (34) we get,

Fault on a loaded generator
If the generator is loaded at the time fault and delivering a load current of I l , we have three internal voltages associated with sub-transient, transient and steady state periods viz., E a , E a and E a respectively. These voltages are given by, E a = V a + X d I l ,
E a = V a + X d I l and E a = V a + X d I l (64)
